First Frost and De-Icing in GTA as Forecasts Split on Early Winter Shift

A weak La Niña could steer an early turn to winter, with the outlook and exact timing still uncertain.

Overview

  • Environment Canada issued frost advisories for Vaughan, Markham, Newmarket and Richmond Hill as temperatures dipped toward freezing overnight.
  • Toronto dropped to about 3°C with patchy frost possible, while daytime highs are holding near seasonal levels in the mid-teens.
  • Toronto Pearson began de-icing some outbound aircraft for the first time since last winter in response to the early-season chill.
  • The Weather Network’s preliminary outlook calls for a sharp start to winter in November with near‑normal to colder temperatures lingering through much of December.
  • The Weather Network projects colder early-winter conditions for northern and central Ontario and near‑normal starts in the south, as other long‑range guides such as the Old Farmer’s Almanac lean toward a wetter, milder southern Ontario and forecasters flag Pacific-driven uncertainty.
